Complete humiliation to our democracy. I didn't vote for Harper last time but anybody who casts a vote for one of these 3 opposition parties next election has some serious issues to sort out. They're a humiliation to all Canadians and our democracy.

This is incredibly undemocratic. THEY WERE JUST ELECTED!!! I'm not even a fan of the conservatives, given that they've sold out on important issues - like implementation of the Kyoto Accord, when they declared that they wouldn't. They doubled the funding for feminists, when they said they opposed interest group funding. BUT, the reason that the 3 hard left socialist parties, are fighting against the centrist 'c'onservatives, is that they suggested cutting taxpayer funding for political parties.

Notice in this report they called it a liberal/NDP coalition! Why did not mentioned the Bloc, they would have been apart of it also!

What!? That's exactly what Dion tried to do! The coalition's position is that they should form government without an election! In fact it would have been constitutional, but not democratic.

In theory the GG could appoint Dion (or for that matter Ignatieff) but she won't. The GG has to take the least controversial action that offers the most stability - an election.

Stephen Harper states: "Stephane Dion does not have the right to take power without an election." Well, technically that was true. But M. Dion wouldn't even try to do that, because constitutional rules wouldn't allow it. However, he could be asked by GG to form a govt. He would have every right to accept power from her...

So parts of this video are inappropriate. Reason: Spam, Misleading Text. But only those parts that feature the Prime Minister of Canada.

I spew nonsense? Attachment theory is widely accepted in the psychiatric community...

"In the 1940's, the main disciplinary problems as rated by teachers were: talking out of turn, chewing gum, making noise, running in the hall, cutting in line, dress code violations, & littering.

The major issues facing classrooms in the 1990s: drug abuse, alcohol abuse, pregnancy, suicide, rape, robbery, & assault."

Why is it that every time you have a discussion on feminism, you've suddenly got all these pregnant women running around bare foot? Here's some data for you - kids as young as 11 and 12 were once given hunting rifles, brought them to school with them, and hung them up on the school gun rack before beginning class - you contrast that today and try to rectify it somehow with your liberalism. Kids need parents & without a doubt, radical feminism took that from them.

I agree that the "family killing" thing is out of line. Here's the problem with socialism: when you have a system where everyone gets the same doled out to them regardless of whether they work hard or not, it kills motivation. Why bust my ass when the lazy guy next to me gets the same? Jack Layton is set to dole our money to his lazy cronies in a failed business (autowork). In the long term, this just creates dependancy and financially weakens the productive people.
